The Santorum Show (Part 1)

These days it's nearly impossible to keep up with the constant flow of Rick Santorum news. We would never in our wildest dreams pretend to be The Daily Santorum, where Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reporters have been tirelessly tracking the former Pennsylvania senator's every move for over a year now. But on busy news days like today, as Santorum's star continues to rise, we bring you; The Santorum Show!

The New York Time's Michael Shear gave the Mitt Romney campaign a handy five-point attack strategy for taking on Santorum. Unfortunately, it doesn't include a jousting match or daring sword fight as the best shows so often do. Instead, Shear says Romney can hit him on "Social Issues," "Earmarks and Spending," as "The Washington Insider," as "The Lobbyist" and/or "Make Him a Moderate." Read it here.
